What Is a Smart Meter?

A smart meter is a digital electric meter that can send and receive basic communications with your utility through a secure wireless network. It’s a simple piece of technology, but it offers some pretty impressive benefits.

Installation

Safe and Secure

Smart meters have already been installed in 70 million homes across the United States. We’ve intentionally waited until the technology was mature and we were confident that they would exceed all of our safety and security measures.

Smart Meters for a Smart Grid

The smart meter is a big step forward in our ongoing commitment to modernizing our entire grid. Our new smart grid uses sensors to adjust the flow of energy and flex with demand. It’s exactly the infrastructure we need for a clean energy future.
